This one was pretty awesome. It kinda sucked not being able to see the health meters so we could see how close to death you guys were, but I'm pretty sure the burning to a crisp was also a good indicator. I still hope to see Saints Row (2,3, or 4) in the future!

I'm counting this week as a win for Yahtzee; Jim should have been disqualified for cheesing the first round like a little bitch, for firing a weapon during the second round, but most of all, for misusing the word "decimate".

Awesome challenge this week. I'd also love to see Saints Row, but I have to mention Just Cause 2 (some kind of sustained grapple parachute flight challenge would be fantastic).

The other challenge that might be fun is Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts; build something that will launch you the highest using only 20 building pieces (I think the cactus in the museum level could be used for measurement if there's no height measurement available) - could do best out of 3. Frankly, there's a billion building challenges you could have in that game.

It was still most enjoyable but I think last weeks was better. The passive time based goal left too much of challenge in the hands of the game rather than the two opponants. I would also love to see some meta-challenges such as selecting a title unkown to either Jim or Yahtzee and seeing who can crash it first or how many audio or visual glitches they can create or how absurd a narrative they can concote through their actions... This competition is a great concept and I look forward to seeing how they continue to realize it in the coming weeks

I'd say Yahtzee provided more entertaining viewing during the first round. But, in the, end Jim's superior tactics just cannot be denied. And I do enjoy the instrumental Miracle of Sound songs in the background.

Looking forward to the next creative battle, and I hope this war drags on for some time.

Surgeon Simulator high-score challenge? Old-school Driver game for the PS1- who can get across the golden gate bridge to the top of the hill there fastest? Bonus: you have to get the cops pissed at you first. Super Monkey Ball 2 for the Game Cube. Play the one where you have to use a boxing glove on a spring to knock your opponent off of the platform. Always good fun. Who can last the longest in one of the God of War Titan modes. Horde mode for Gears of War, no guns. Only melee.

Jandau:I'm counting this week as a win for Yahtzee; Jim should have been disqualified for cheesing the first round like a little bitch, for firing a weapon during the second round, but most of all, for misusing the word "decimate".

Right you are, Jandau!

Anyway, this was not great as I had hoped.It was entertaining, sure. But with two sticks of dynamite I'd expect a massive, glorious explosion... :\

Great win, Jim. If there's anything I've learned from Dark Souls, it's that it doesn't matter if it's cheesing or not, as long as you're winning. :)

Also, a suggestion for a game challenge: Just Cause 2. Race from the southern-most tip of Panau to the northern-most tip of Panau, by any means necessary, excluding planes and possibly boats. If you want to use boats or helicopters, you could add a rule that you have to discard them after 30 seconds of use. Also, if the boats or helicopters have weaponry, you could nix that last rule and say that you can use them as long as you like, but if you come across a military base or something destructible, you must stop and destroy it. You don't have to 100% the base (read: find all the collectable doo-dads sitting around the base), only destroy all the things with the Panau star plastered on it.

I'm going to recommend my favorite game of this type to Jim, Yahtzee, or anyone else who wants to test their mettle.

My favorite silly made up rules kind of game to play is one I call FAGGIO DEATH RIDE in pretty much every GTA since Vice City.

How to play:Get to the northern most point of the map in any GTA game. Find (or bring with you) one of the vespa style scooters (named "FAGGIO"). Place the scooter on the shoulder or out of the way and then earn yourself a 3 Star Wanted Level. Once you get the third star, you take off on your scooter. You can only drive the Faggio scooter. No starting on one of those and then ditching it. Try to see how far you can make it. The usual goal I set is to make it across the map (or as far as possible)

Scoring: You can either score by distance or time spent on the bike, players choice. My friends and I would typically start at the north and shoot for the southern most tip of the map.
